In this fast-paced story, Niko imagines that his emotions are like passengers getting on and off a bus all day. As he takes on his role as a bus attendant and starts to seat passengers, chaos ensues when he doesn't stop and think about who he lets drive his bus.
Kids are drawn to the fun illustrations and the humorous story that shows it’s okay to experience and feel all their emotions throughout the day. But kids, like adults, need to be in control of who is driving their bus. Children and their parents have a lot to learn from this short, wonderful book that will empower them to use self-regulation skills to manage their emotions in healthy ways.
Who is driving your bus today? This minute? It’s your choice to make!
Why You Should Feature This Book
Here are just a few reasons readers will want to buy Who Is Driving Your Bus? and a great bookstore will want to stock the book:
Who Is Driving Your Bus? is a fast-paced, funny, engaging children’s book that teaches children how to easily handle their emotions every day. Children will ask to read (or be read to) the book every day.
If you loved bestselling books like A Little Spot of Anger, What Should Danny Do?, The Color Monster, Ninja Life Hacks, and In My Heart, you’ll love Who Is Driving Your Bus?
Children can connect to the bus driver principle. One child, for instance, who had difficulty regulating his frustration, was inspired by the bus driver image. He said, “I guess I need a better bus driver!”
The author can bring along plush dolls to illustrate some of the emotions kids experience every day. These dolls set the basis for interactive presentations by the author at schools, bookstores, libraries, and other events.
Parents and children are attracted to book and plush combos that encourage children to act out their feelings revealed by engaging stories.
“The book’s colorful and fun illustrations are a significant part of its appeal, capturing the energy and personality of each emotion.” — American Writing Award

Here are just a few reasons readers will want to read Heart Disease and Hypertension and a great bookstore will want to stock the book:
Millions of people unknowingly suffer from one or more forms of heart disease, which can lead to low energy, low endurance, high blood pressure, heart attack, or sudden cardiac arrest. Could you be one of them?

Vitamin therapy, backed by multinational peer-reviewed studies, can prevent, reduce, and reverse common forms of heart disease.

Above the Ashes is the inspiring true story of a firefighter's journey to rediscover joy and free himself from his battle with mental illness.
Mental illness can be devastating and crippling to those who are suffering. Kevin Conley, a wildland firefighter, knows firsthand how depression and a severe panic disorder can affect every aspect of life and existence.
After silently suffering for months with depression and severe anxiety attacks, Kevin rolled out of bed and biked 3,500 miles from California to Florida in 47 days. In the process, he rediscovered himself, healed his body and mind, increased awareness of mental health issues, and raised thousands of dollars for those who work in wildland fire.
Now Kevin strives to save others: Anything is possible. You’re not alone. Never give up. You can overcome any obstacle. You must believe.
Here are just a few reasons readers will want to buy and read Above the Ashes — and a great bookstore will want to stock the book:
If you loved You Can’t Hurt Me by David Groggins, or Wild by Cheryl Strayed, or Thirst by Heather Anderson, you’ll love this incredible memoir.
Mental illness is a serious condition. More than 50% of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetimes. 1 in 25 Americans lives with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. You can help them by giving them this book!
Kevin has been interviewed on local affiliates of CBS, Fox, ABC, and NBC around the country as well as on podcasts such as Anchor Point and Chats with Fire.
In the first 30 days, Kevin sold more than 500 copies of Above the Ashes. He’ll work with you to sell many more copies. Just give him a chance!
“This is the story of a man who saved his own life. Reading it could save yours or that of someone you love.”
There is no quit in the soul of a wildland firefighter. There is no it’s too late, it’s too early, it’s too steep, it’s too hot, it’s too heavy. Above the Ashes contributes to the many, many firefighters who work to save your homes and your lives.
“Wow, this was a tough one to put down! Loved following Kevin on his journey across the United States. Also very insightful to hear more behind the scenes about what it's like being a wildland firefighter. True heroes. Couldn't recommend this book enough.” — Iron Tazz

Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things: Turn a penny into a radio, change milk into plastic, make a dozen STEM projects with everyday things, and other amazing feats will help you transform ordinary objects into the extraordinary! Prepare yourself for almost any situation, including 10 never-before-seen projects focused on Maker initiatives.
Do you know how to make something that can tell whether the $20 bill in your wallet is a fake? Or how to generate battery power with simple household items? Or how to create your own home security system? Science-savvy author Cy Tymony does. This quirky collection uses run-of-the-mill household items and easy-to-follow instructions to build useful devices that are sure to amaze friends and family alike!
Here are just a few reasons readers will want to buy Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things and a great bookstore will want to stock this book:
If you loved The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, Life Hacks: The King of Random’s Tips and Tricks, or Handy Household Hints from Heloise, you’ll love Sneaky Uses.
Sneaky Uses offers easy-to-do demonstrations for science teachers, elementary teachers, and homeschooling parents. Amaze your students with practical uses of everyday items!
Do you love science kits? Sneaky Uses is an amazing and magical science kit in book form. Ordinary household objects provide the tools for this portable science kit.
Publishers Weekly: Adventurous, inquisitive teens may delight in a book that shows them how to use ordinary objects as sneaky weapons.
Thinking creatively is not only possible. It can produce amazing results! If you love to hack, you’ll love this book.
“Use a magnet to detect a counterfeit bill? Build a battery out of basically anything? My health insurer sent me home with the instructions included here to make a frozen gel pack for a sprain. These are interesting and low-cost ideas for STEM projects with no upper age limit.” — Diane H.
“In closing, let's measure something. Check out this Pi Detector by the ingenious Cy Tymony, creator of the popular Sneaky Science and Math discovery series. Why does Cy do what he does? I asked, and he responded with the following.
“I love science and technology and the wonderful things you can do with a little sneaky information using discarded items and without special tools.
“For instance, virtually anyone can: Make an AM radio with a penny, create fire with water, turn a screw in an AM/FM radio and listen to aircraft broadcasts, turn on devices with your ring, convert a pencil into a microphone, convert a calculator into a metal detector, make a James Bond spy jacket and more.
“Wait. Music from a penny? It's true. Check it out here—from Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things. Pretty amazing. (Thank you, Andrews McMeel Publishing.)” — Gary Antonik, New York Times
